Never Growing Up (A team crafted fan-fic)

Why Do We Hold Back

~Philip's P.O.V~

I chuckled, re-adjusting my hat as I watched Redo, another one of my puppets, chase Snazzy and Ty around the room. Monarch, obviously being the smartest of the seven puppets, sat next to Lordan and remained silent. Lordan can be a right pain when it comes to plans. Always so... Well, innocent. I guess it's my fault. I stitched all their personalities in myself.

Lonley sat in the corner by the door, watching as anger eyed him up and down. She was clearly scared out of her mind.

The door flung open with a sudden force that made my heart pound. Lonely went flying across the room from the impact with the door.

"Could you be any more loud? Shut them up!" I gave smile. "Trust me. We can be a lot more lou-" I was cut off. You'd think I'd have learnt my lesson by now...

"Don't be sassy with me. You've already went off track from the original to scare an ex-boyfriend. I could kill you off right this minute." I narrowed my eyes, blowing a strand of hair out my face so he could see. "But you won't. You need me, Enderlox." He laughed and shook his head. "I don't need anyone."

"Have you seen the small, weak body you're possessing? It's quite pathetic, actually." That earned a glare. "I will dispose of him once I find a stronger host to weaken and push to their breaking point." Well that isn't terrifying at all...

"He must have been easy."

"Yep. Took me a month or two to finally bring him to the edge of insanity." He's good, I'll give him that.

"How long is it for a strong host?"

"'Bout a year or two. Depends how strong. If you mean the rest of team crafted strong, then about three years. Not Chris though, I could snap her like a twig. I prefer male bodies though, so I wouldn't unless I had to... Or I may just get bored one day. That's how I got this one."

I rose an eyebrow. "Interesting."

"What about Chip?"

"That would be a bit more complicated, due him being, umm, insane, I guess? He puts up with voices and imaginary voices on a daily basis. He would find me being there completely normal, yet still annoying. There would be a slight chance I may not even be able to get through to him."

I nodded, slightly disappointed.

"I can smell your emotions from here. It's disgusting."

"How did we get these powers anyway? I've never fully understood." I don't think anyone knows, but it's worth a shot.

"Powers like ours and TC's branch off from the pill and implant. It was thought to be an irregular occurrence, but it became more and more regular for a child to get a supernatural power from the pill. Some can become contagious, others, not so much."

"I get it."

"Any other questions?" It was supposed to be me that was sarcastic! Not him!

"I think I'm alright at the moment."

"Those dolls of yours are quite interesting, actually. You know, despite the fact they are extremely annoying."

"They aren't tha-"

"I mean they make too much noise."

"Touché. Yeah, they are really interesting, in fact. Snazzy was somehow able to change personalities, even though I stitched a personality into each one individually."

He looked quite intrigued.

"They're quite the something, aren't they." Enderlox sat as he studied they're movement, almost falling into a trance before shaking his head and standing up again. "We have work to do."

Strange...

"Are you okay?" He looked at me, his eyes looked weaker than before.

"I'm fine. Let's go."

~Enderlox's P.O.V~

This isn't supposed to happen. He isn't supposed to try and make me go insane. How? He is weak.

It's not me that's weak, it's your mind. Your strategy was sloppy. A lot of weak points. It's about time I took advantage of that.

Dammit...

(I was gonna end it here, but I'll keep it going because I'm on a roll :P :3)

~Adam's P.O.V~

As the days moved on, I got more and more mad at the fact that we hadn't gotten anywhere.

"Whatever! I'm going to get the military to help me! You can all sit here with your thumb up your ass! I'll be the one to save us! I'll be the one to get Ty back." Thoughts were spilling out my mouth before I could think them though again and filter my speech.

My sudden outburst, breaking yet another silence, made everyone else surprised.

"Wow. Deja motherfucking vu, huh? This has happened SO many times people! COME ON! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. WHY DO WE HOLD BACK? THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THIS UNIVERSE HAS TAKEN FROM US! ARE YOU READY TO TAKE IT BACK?" Elyssa was the first to speak. She's quite good when put in these situations. I'm guessing Jerome had a lot of outbursts in the past.

"Adam. You need to calm down. We're taking our time. I understand that we aren't doing much planning, but the most we can do is fight. You're letting your emotions get in the way of self control." I fell to my knees letting tears fall. Why me? Why Ty...? Why. Just why.

I moved my eyes up to face everyone. The tears stopped.

I'm done with this! So. Frickin'. Done.

"I'm done with hiding in this stupid god damn clearing in the woods. I'm going to get the military. I'm fighting. You guys don't have to, but I am. I want to know I fought for my life, then I can rest at peace without a constant nipping at the back of my mind. The though that my Ty is trapped in there. The thought that A... That Alesa is dead. I'm not sitting around any longer. It takes one person to start a revolution."

I heard muttering around me. Most likely asking who Alesa is, but that doesn't matter anymore. I'll fight for the future that I never got.

Muffin rose to her feet, followed by Apple. "We're coming too." I smile grew on my face.

Slowly everyone agreed to come. All except one.

Jason held out his hand. "Are you coming Elyssa?"

A large grin spread across her face. She grabbed his hand and jogged out the door towards the shed. Everyone else jogged closely behind, leaving me alone in the small, wooden house.

"I guess this is it. May the best man win."

Everybody sing, like it's the last song you will ever sing.

Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?

Everybody live, like it's the last day you will ever see.

Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?

1128 words. Not too bad.

Sooooo. How was that?

The story is slowly coming to an end, but if you guys want a sequel at the end, I will defiantly make one for you.

I have no idea how many more chapters there will be, but yeah.
